RGN - | Consideration 3 : Jones Johnson played his phono- graph till 9 o'clock was striking, pro- ducing songs that made me laugh— gay music to my liking. Then he let down the walnut top, released the crank that wound it; it grieved me mouch that he should stop, though for an hour he'd ground it. “Oh, prithee, prithee, do not e,” I cried in tones imploring; “reel off another corking piece—oh, keep the old mill roaring. For I'm so fond of lilting airs, such as you have been playing, 1 feel like vaulting over cl rs, a joyous urge obeying.” “T'd gladly play through- out the night,” said Johnson, softly sighing, “but just next door there is a wight who's and maybe dying. His name is Gordon Gibson Gibbs; a speeding car ran o'er him, and he has 14 busted ribs, and other hurts that bore him. And it may be the joyous strain that gives us so much pleasure, may multiply his throbbing pain and jar beyond all measure. I would not add another ache to any gent who suffers; to torture one who lies awaks would brand us heartless duffers. That he was good and kind and true 1'd known, though low his station, and now I viewed him with a new and deeper admiration. For men are few who care a hoot about a neighbor's feelings, when they would draw from horn or flute & ald set of squeal- ings. Then_ said damsel at the door, “I'm Mr. Gibb's daughter; he begs you play that mill some more— his pain it seems to slaughter.” With hearts refreshed and minds at ease we set the old mill going, producing song and jest and whes until the dawn was growing WALT MASON. {Copyright, _1927.)

OR some reason, Baylie at the office had chosen to regard Warrington’s desperate mes- as highly humorous. He ed with laughter over the telephone, and Warrington, as he hung up, felt he had done a reckless thing. Had he been able to see into the office, he would have been certain of lie, red-headed and cheerfully phisticated, wanderéd over to Miss & desk and passed on the glad “Can you beat it?” he inquired jo- vially. “What sort of a boss have you got, anyhow, hanging around a hotel without his cloth p “Quit stringing me, Mr. Baylie.” “It's a fact, and I don’t mean may- He's at the Stockton.” Never heard of it." Well, you'll hear of it again, and he’s going to hear of it, if I live to tell the tale. Says he sent his clothes {out to be pressed and can't get them back!"” Th: liciou After Baylie got his hat and started out, Miss Sharp remembered something and went into the outer office, and the detective standing there surveying the board turned at her approach. “Mr. Warrington will be in before ,” she told him. ‘“He's just tele- phoned. He's at the Hotel Stockton just now. But you'd better wait here. He’ll be around soon.” There w amusement in her face, and he looked at her shrewdly. “What's funny, sister? Tell me. I like to laugh. “Ask Mr. omes in,” she said, ‘Tell me now. I coaxed her. She looked around, saw they were unobserved, and passed the tale on to him. But he did not laugh. He push- ed her aside with a movement more forcible than polite. “How long ago did this Baylie start?” he demande “Why do you ask “How long ago? Ten minutes?"” “He's just gone,” she said, and he bolted out the door. To the detective, the fact that War- rington was trying to get another suit of clothing meant only one thing; a bolt. He was relieved, therefore, to find his man was still in the hotel, under his own name. He sent a bell- hop to watch the door and used the telephone on the desk, lowering his voice carefully. “Got him,” he said. *“He's sent out for some different clothes, but I've got him all right. I'll bring him right around.” It was about that time that War- rington’s suit, neatly pressed and re- paired, was passed through his door, and the detective caught him as he was leaving his room. He took the arrest very quietly. “I was on my way, anyhow,” all he said. . They went down together in the ele- vator, and another man took up a po- sition on his other side. He walked between them, a free man, to all ap- pearances, a free man in a neatly ressed suit, with James’ old cap on is head and his linen exceedingly irty. But he was not a free man; e was on his way. to jail. However, they did not commit him t once. They took him first to the listrict attorney’s office. But he had o wait for some time in the outer -oom. At last one of the men took him in. e had no idea of what he was ex- pected to do or say, and so he stood still and waited. The detective had taken off his hat, so he did the same.

Walit out there, will you, Lyell?” The detective went out. Warring- ton sat down near the desk. There was a silence, and then the district attorney cleared his throat. “I suppose you know why you're here?” .THE EVENING STAR, WASHINGTON, TWO FLIGHTS UP .BY MARY ROBERTS RINEHART o Copyright, 1926. by Mary Roberts Rinehart and the Metropolitan Newspaper Service. “I didn’t know it was stolen when I offered it.” “When the Bayne girl asked you to sell it. you didn't suspect that it was part of the Harrison Bank loot?"” “She never gave it to me. never saw it.”” he says she did.” hen she's lying.” T)!e district attorney bent forward. “Now, see here, W rington,” he 8 “You're in a pretty bad way, and you knew it.

The district attorney leaned back in his chair and, his legs thrust out before him, sat surveying him with his head lowered. “It won't wash, Warrington,” he sald. “Either you or this girl took that bond. It sold, all right, but you began to get cold feet on the propo- sition. Somebody might check it up; sooner or later, it would be checked up, almost certainly. If that had happened before you'd disposed of the rest, there would be a search of the house, so you tried to get rid of the rest. This story about taking them back to the bank is all poppycock. There’s another point you've overlook- ed, Warrington, and this is it: this in- quiry might have taken a different form, if you'd acted like an honest man. You haven't. You escaped last night and hid yourself at an ob- scure hotel; this morning you sent for another suit ot clothes. You wear a hat usually, don't you?

I understand your record’s been clean, so far?” “That depends on how far you think I am mixed up in it.” “Don’t spar for time,” said the dis- trict attorney, rather more sharply. ““We know you had those bonds.
